Travels in India

In 1999 I travelled to India for the first time. After visiting Delhi, I went to Nepal for a week and from there to Varanasi, Khajurao, Agra and then on into Rajasthan, a region of stark desert, colourful people, beautiful palaces and spicy food.

Excellent shots of very interesting places. India is so colourful. Your portraits are great. I have yet to see your other pictures.

Monique,

The palace you dont know where is the one inside Jaisalmer fort. You can even observe the old Jaisalmer kindgom flag flying on the mast.

The photos are beautiful.

U sure r amongst the few fortunate ones!
Monique, you sure have been lucky to have visited few of the thousands of beautiful places in India!One cannot connive at the fact that you have a great 'eye' but truly, India is so picturesque that one just can't help admiring her. Here's wishing you many more great trips to my Country. Cheers and great going !!

A taste of India, indeed!
This presentation includes some wonderful visions of India, Monique. The opening camel shot, the fellow on a break, the misty light of the Ganges all bring back memories of my own visit to India more than a decade ago. Your portraits offer us an intimate, face to face encounter with these wonderful people. Thanks for the presentation.
